Abstract
In the region of superheavy nuclei, where experimental data are scarce, theoretical calculations of separation energies and masses are vital for understanding their properties and potential stability. In this work, we calculate the proton and neutron separation energies for superheavy nuclei in the framework of a two-body model. To this aim, we first consider a nucleus as a two-body system, so using the Schrödinger equation in the presence of a nonrelativistic potential including the magnetic moments and Coulomb interactions, we determine the mass equation of the nuclei, analytically. Having the analytical solutions, we compute the ground-state mass of superheavy nuclei including Rf, Db, Sg, Bh, Hs, Mt, Ds, and Rg as well as the one- and two-nucleon separation energies. Our theoretical results are compared with the existing experimental data.
